I'd take Bruce over Pearson. Although that probably says more about quite how much I dislike Pearson than anything.

So we assemble a well staffed, highly regarded brains trust and all they come up with is 'must be English and have experience of both Premier League and Championship'. Genius. Now there's a strategy that has served us so well in the past.

I do wonder how much they're influenced by their time serving the FA. I even recall some time back Brian Little coming out with the same line about English managers. Oh for a Brian Little now, somebody that had earned his stripes but with the exception of Eddie Howe, I don't see a single English manager that you think, now that's a man that has great potential. Not one.

I think Warburton does have a lot of potential in fairness. But agree in principal, there is a shortage of forward thinking managers like Howw

I have to say what a magnificent job Hughton has done at Brighton I wouldn't be averse to him.

And if it isn't too long to wait what about Chris Coleman I quite like how he manages.

I hope it's Moyes but don't think it will be.

If it is Pearson then I'll definitely swear when the news is confirmed.

God help us.

Twitter meltdown=2 twonks started a #BruceAFVC hashtag and spent the rest of the night pissing themselves laughing as grown men start shitting themselves about something that's not happening.

Take any 3 papers / websites and find at least 5 different names, all plucked from the standard list of names the bookies roll out for this kind of appointment.

Nothing to see until May 16th.

One of the papers has linked us with Chris Coleman. Can't see us taking on a manager who couldn't join the club till at least after the Euros.
